Preds in review: David Legwand

It’s tough to really put a beat on David Legwand’s season. There were times where he showed high levels of offensive proficiency. There were also times where he showed perceived inconsistency. His lower body injury in mid-November derailed him for almost a month and a half.

But the end result of the whole year was a very Legwandesque campaign. He was quietly productive during the regular season, and turned it up during the playoffs.

Legwand led all Nashville forwards in ice time during the regular season (18:48) and in the playoffs (22:06). He played power play, penalty kill and against opponent’s top lines. Legwand finished behind just Martin Erat Sergei Kostitsyn in points per game on the Predators during the regular campaign.

In the playoffs Legwand had nine points in 12 games. Five of those came in the final four games of Nashville’s second round series against Vancouver.
